What’s that? OK, OK, so it’s more like a regular old streak instead of The Streak. But it’s a nice little streak, and Jose Morales is very excited about it.

Morales, acquired by the Rockies in the offseason to back up Chris Iannetta, has started five games and the Rockies have won all five. Not bad for a converted infielder who showed some defensive shortcomings early in spring training.

“He’s done a terrific job, a great job,” said Rockies manager Jim Tracy. “He’s better defensively today than he was when we started spring training. Last night was maybe the best game he’s caught. He’s just getting more and more comfortable with what he’s doing.

Patrick, a third-generation Colorado native, is back for his second stint covering the Rockies. He first covered the team from 2005-2009, helping chronicle “Rocktober” in 2007 and also following the team’s playoff run in 2009.
